MEMORANDUM

Members are reminded of two significant changes to arrangements relating to parliamentary questions taking effect in the New Year.

E-tabling

From the return of the House Members will be able to table questions electronically. For security reasons the House has laid down formal arrangements for electronic tabling based on access using the PDVN.

Members wishing to use the new system will need to sign a consent form in the Table Office.

Named Day Questions

From the start of the New Year Members will be able to table a maximum of five named day questions on any day. There will be no limit on the number of ordinary written questions which may be asked and there will be no changes to the rules governing limits on oral questions.
